Henry II of Görz held lordship over Treviso from 1319 until the city passed to the Scaligeri of Verona in 1328, but the "Aquilino" type — named for the eagle of the Görz arms — was struck only within the narrower window of 1319–1323, making it one of the shorter-lived civic issues of the Trevisan mint. The grosso draws directly on the Venetian grosso matapan tradition that had dominated northeastern Italian silver coinage for over a century, adapted here to affirm a rival dynastic claim rather than a communal one.
